Join Ben Long for an in-depth discussion in this video Control point management, part of Capture NX 2 Essential Training.
I want to talk briefly about some kind of control-point management issues.…I have added a few control points here to this document.…I have two control points here in the sky.…They are actually copies of each other that are altering the brightness and…contrast of the sky.…Then I have another control point down here that's darkening this tree.…These two control point end up in the same edit because I added them together.…I added this control point and then this control point and I did no other edits in between.…
If I had continued to add more control points, they would all show up here under…this single Color Control Point entry.…I can turn all of the control points off and on with this master check box here,…or I can independently turn the effect of the control point on and off with…these individual control points here.…You've seen these controls which let me change which sliders are available and…give me check boxes for viewing selections and protecting details and so on so forth.…This pane right here is not actually connected to this particular control point.…
